Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with over 2 million new cases diagnosed each year. In India, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 4 minutes. One woman loses the battle to breast cancer every 8 minutes. In India over 40% women still present with large tumors and locally advanced breast cancer and of these, 75% lose their breasts. As per recent surveys, the survival rate of patients with breast cancer is poor in India as compared to western countries due to late stage of disease at presentation and delayed initiation of cancer directed treatment. Early detection reduces the mortality rate by 90% by improving survival rates, as the chances of successful treatment are significantly higher when the cancer is caught early.
Traditionally, the breast cancer diagnosis process can be lengthy and anxiety-inducing, often taking several days or even weeks to obtain a definitive diagnosis. This can be a particularly difficult time for patients, as they are left in limbo, unsure of their diagnosis.
